About New Town, North Dakota
New Town is a city of 2,764 people in Mountrail County, and it is the largest city and administrative center of the Fort Berthold Reservation. Congress passed the Flood Control Act of 1944 to build the Garrison Dam, and its reservoir would cover Sanish, Van Hook, Elbowoods and several other towns. Seven possible sites were inspected before planners chose this one, and Army engineers had the combined townsite platted by August 1950.
On September 10, 1950, a county road grader cut a furrow along the future Main Street as the official ground-breaking. The relocation company auctioned off lots, and within two days over sixty percent were gone. Seventy-four voters chose the first city officials in November 1952, and the post office opened on January 1, 1953. The old towns were dissolved on April 30, 1953, their residents had until July 1 to move, and by 1955 New Town had about 1,400 people.
“The purchase of a quarter section of land for the site of New Town was financed by ten men from Sanish and ten from Van Hook, who formed the Sanish - Van Hook Relocation Townsite Corp., a non-profit organization. Government engineers platted the townsite.”
- A lake 200 miles longThe Garrison Dam was planned as the world's largest rolled-earth filled dam. Behind it formed Lake Sakakawea, 200 miles long, as much as 14 miles wide and with about 1,500 miles of shoreline, built to hold water for irrigation and the region's needs.
- The Four Bears Bridge, 1955Workers finished the bridge over the reservoir in October 1955. Its name honors two chiefs, one Mandan and one Hidatsa, who were each called Four Bears. The bridge work, new roads, town construction and nearby oil fields brought many new workers to New Town.
- Earl Bunyan since 1953Fred LaRocque, a cowboy who lived in New Town, built a statue in 1953 of the cowboy Earl Bunyan, said to be the "brother" of the lumberjack Paul Bunyan. It still stands in town.
- First train in 1953The first scheduled train reached New Town on September 22, 1953. Classes for New Town students began that fall. The town's New School opened its doors in September 1954, and its dedication followed on April 15, 1955.
